Default I lost it!!!! need help ASAP!!!!!

I finally got my bow back and got every thing set up on it and shot it and the first shot wasn' t to bad about 4 inches to the right and 4 high I adjusted the sights and shot again and was about one high and 2 to the right I thought I' d try another shot
when I did I was back to where I started!!!! I shot again and was 2 high and two right next shot dead on shot again and it was dead on too, so I think I lost my MOJOE I can hit dead sinter about every three shots the rest of the time I' m hitting ether low and right or high and right...
Only been off two time' s to the left but not by much...

I thank it' s my form " at lest I hope it' s not my bow!!! again" what I' m I doing wrong ?

Bow season starts tomorrow here and I going cause the way I' m hitting I can still kill a deer at 20 yards but I' m still not happy that I' m not hitting right where I put the pin.

I would say more than likely it is you. I have noticed when my form lets down I need to go back to the basics. Try to hold the sight on the target until the arrow hits. It is also possible that you have a couple of arrows that are not straight or the insert is off or something. I would check to see if it is always the same arrows doing it. I know I always have some arrows out of a dozen or so that don' t quite shoot the same as the others.

Don' t claim to know as much as some of these guys but know you will get some questions for your question. So let me shoot some at you:
Where did you get the bow back from?
What did you have to set up?
What type of bow?
What type arrows? Is it the same arrow hitting true each time?
What type points?
Release or fingers?
How are you holding the bow?

Having asked all these questions let me say this: Watch the bow, especially the stabilizer, at the moment of the shot. If it jumps straight forward then it means there’s no torque on the bow and you’re doing things right.

Here is a website that talks some about grips: http://www.skookumarchers.com/Archer...ForBowGrip.htm

Those are all I can think of just now. With all the specifics you are likely to get some help.

Been there done that! My advice is use the same arrow over and over again. Concentrate on your form, breathing, release...and DON' T PEAK!! Once you consistently start hitting where you aim, then factor in the other arrows (making sure to number them). It could be you have a bad arrow or you are rushing your shot.
